  1. The junior girls volleyball team hosted their Jr Invitation volleyball tournament over the weekend.  They played 4 hard matches on Friday coming out with a 3 out of 4 win.  Saturday they continued to play some very strong teams and ultimately won all their games to take them to the gold match against Pen Hi 9.  They played hard in the first set but lost 24-26.  The next two sets continued to prove to be very close in scoring all throughout but our hornets prevailed and won to become the home tournament champions. Congratulations girls on a hard fought win.

  1. The Senior Field hockey Hornets won their division at the Golden Pumpkin tournament in Surrey, returning home with a record of three wins and one tie. Emma Millward’s strong defensive play throughout the weekend kept the Hornets grounded as they attacked as a team and put a record number of shots on net. The team is hoping to be the Okanagan’s top seed to Provincials by winning Valley’s on Friday.  

 

  1. Last Thursday, the jr. Field hockey team played a home game versus Pen High. We lost 1-0. Although they lost, they played very well and showed tremendous growth as a team. Special mentions of strong play go to Meredith Lester, Audrey Noftle, and Aloe Kendrick. This is the jrs last week of their season with a home game today at 4pm vs Maggie and a home game on Wednesday vs Summerland, come out and cheer them on!
